Lyrics
Great Divide
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shut down, fall asleep
the more you hold the less you keep
untied your concern
the stronger the grip the more you'll burn
board up the west side
it feels like it's coming round
batten down the east side
it feels like it's coming, feels like it's coming down to this day
don't speak, breathe in deep
he's so sycophantic I can't understand it
hold fast, this won't last
his long-suffering is what takes timing
find your great divide
you might hesitate but I don't recommend it
look up, blinders on
overcomplicated like the boy you are
shake this simple fist
all you need is some excuse to blame it on
